I am working on an emc2 2.4 system that was installed with Ubuntu 10.04,
but a distribution upgrade to 10.10 was done by mistake about 6 months
ago. Emc2 is working fine but updates are not since 10.10 isn't
supported in the linuxcnc.org repository.
I plan to reinstall. I'll do a complete backu
I highly recommend to keep all configs under source code control like CVS or
subversion. Just a side note.
I like your plan on what to back up. I think that you will be fine.
If you feel extremely cautious, just buy yourself another hard drive and
keep the old hard drive.

Version control for the win. I'm a huge believer in "git", but there are
others that will work fine, especially for single user stuff.
You can also use something like Clonezilla to make an image of the
existing drive, which can be restored if disaster strikes.

For your 'temporary backup' solution, install dropbox.
Put the files you want in there.
Re-install your machine, then put drop box on and get your
configs back.
Then if you want, un-install dropbox.
Or use ubuntuone.
Both have 2G for free.

Actually, if you can afford another disk drive, put in a new drive,
install on it. Then install your old drive as a 'second' drive, and copy
your
config files over.
This way you can keep the old drive for a while after you get things
running. Out of the machine is best to ensure nothing happens

Around here, every PC is permanently equipped with two hard drives.
